Modern music: Scelsi

Scelsi continues to be a modern composer of intense interest to
me. Partly this is because he uses ideas from other stimulating
music: Medieval, Indian, etc. Mostly, however, it is because he
was able to invent a coherent and compelling microtonal technique.
To make matters more amazing, he did this virtually from scratch,
after an early period of composition in which he used the idioms
of his era. The result is music of great depth, power &
intimacy.
